Chapter 512 Let’s feast! Let’s feast!

An ordinary bicycle will not do; it must be the most expensive Phoenix 28-inch bicycle sold in the supply and marketing cooperative.

If this was the case, Secretary Shi would not have said anything, but there were many more things that happened later.

Not only do they have to buy things for the bride, but even the bride's younger brother also asks for new clothes.

Some of the things originally prepared by the Shi family were also disliked by the woman as being of low quality.

After this happened so many times, Secretary Shi naturally felt uncomfortable.

But there was no way out. His son was willing to marry Hu Xiaoli, and even if Secretary Shi felt uncomfortable, he would not say much. He had to spend a little more money to marry his son's daughter-in-law.

But the fact is, blindly giving in will not satisfy the other party. Instead, they will feel that everything came too easily and they need to ask for more.

So, there was the scene where people got off the car and asked for red envelopes before entering the door.

Secretary Shi had never heard of such a thing in his life: a 60-yuan red envelope for entering the house.

Even when the landlords in the past got married, there was no such thing.

What are you saying about the village rules? Bullshit!

The two villages are almost adjacent to each other. How could Secretary Shi not know about such a rule?

It was clearly an excuse he made up just to ask for more things.

If the two families want a peaceful marriage, they should discuss it politely, but it is a bit too much for one family to plot against the other.

Under the guise of being good to his daughter, he is actually selling her.

Since he won’t get off the car unless you give him a red envelope, then just go back and find another wife for your son later.

"You still have the nerve to ask me for an explanation?"

"Okay, then I'll tell you again, the marriage between your daughter Hu Xiaoli and my son Shi Delu is over!"

"Why!" the woman asked gritting her teeth.

"Because your family has no sense of propriety, because your family is greedy, and because your family has never stopped discussing the engagement!"

After saying that, Secretary Shi took a step forward, stared at his former mother-in-law, and said, "Return all the money and gifts I gave to your family tomorrow, not a penny less!"

When I want to become relatives with your family, everything will be easy.

When they don't want to become relatives with you, Secretary Shi is not someone that Hu Xiaoli's family can afford to offend.

"How could you do this!" When the woman heard what Secretary Shi said, she felt a buzzing in her head and her face instantly turned ugly.

Secretary Shi actually asked her to return all the money and things? ?

impossible!

Part of the betrothal gifts have already been spent, and even if the family sells everything they have, it will be impossible to collect the money by tomorrow.

As for the shameless refusal to return it?

The woman didn't have the courage to do so. In this small piece of land, Secretary Shi was not someone that ordinary people could afford to offend.

While the woman was stunned, Secretary Shi called the remaining guests who came to help into the yard, leaving the people on the woman's side waiting at the door.

Hu Xiaoli's relatives looked at each other, all of them at a loss.

What to do?

Should I leave or continue to waste time?

But if they were to leave, how would they get back?

It’s not that the distance is too far to walk back, but it’s too embarrassing to walk back like this.

It was noon and the banquet was about to start, but those who had gone to see the bride off were walking back to the village on their hind legs. The villagers would surely gossip about them.

But they didn't want to walk back, and the man's car wouldn't be able to take them away.

Not to mention cars, even the bicycles that were following behind to pick up people could not take them back to the village.

These people all went to the courtyard to have a banquet, and no one wanted to pay attention to them.

Hu Xiaoli's mother had also calmed down by now. She felt that the Shi family was taking advantage of their power to bully others, looking down on their Hu family, and deliberately embarrassing the Hu family. She yelled that she wanted to rush into the yard to make a scene.

But this move shocked the women present.

Good man, how desperate must you be to have the guts to rush into someone else's yard and cause trouble?

You have to know that on today's occasion, almost all of the man's relatives and friends are present. Rushing in to cause trouble is no different from tying yourself up with a rope and hanging yourself.

"Let go, why are you pulling me!" The woman glared at the woman who was pulling her with dissatisfaction.

"Don't go, don't go. If you go, we will look cheap!"

These women did not dare to say directly that they would be beaten after entering the prison, so they could only use a more euphemistic way of expressing it.

If it was just Hu Xiaoli's mother who was beaten, it wouldn't matter.

What if the man gets angry and takes them down as well?

By then, don't even think about having a feast, you'll have to go home with injuries all over your body.

Compared to the awkwardness and desolation outside the courtyard, the courtyard was extremely lively.

Many people gathered around Secretary Shi and Shi Delu, expressing their indignation at the difficulties faced by the woman.

"If my daughter had met a young man like De Lu when she was looking for a date, I would not have asked for a single cent in betrothal gifts, and I would have asked for a few cotton quilts as a dowry."

"Not at all. The betrothal gifts, car, house, furniture and everything else are all ready, but he's still not satisfied. What are you trying to do? Are you trying to take over my cousin's family?"

"That's right. Who has the money to buy everything for a wedding now? How much does it cost? And the ceremony of picking up the bride, with cars, isn't even as grand as this for city folks!"

"If you ask me, this is greed, and the Hu family will regret it in the future."

Although Secretary Shi was furious, he had to act magnanimously at this time and started distributing cigarettes to his relatives and friends around him.

Chen Jun started to work with Sha Zhu.

While Sha Zhu was helping, he pricked up his ears to eavesdrop on the conversations of the people around him.

The topic naturally revolved around what had just happened.

"Ah, if you ask me, this bride is just stupid. It's hard for her to marry into a better family in this life." Sha Zhu also said with a sigh, "My wife is still the best. She can work, endure hardships, and is filial to her parents."

Although Hu Xiaoli is quite pretty, there are many pretty girls these days, but not many guys with the same conditions as Shi Delu.

Although Liu Lan is not as pretty as Hu Xiaoli, she doesn't have that many things to do and is a formal employee. If Sha Zhu were asked to choose, he would definitely choose Liu Lan with his eyes closed.

Chen Jun glanced at him and said, "Stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and put the cold dishes on the plates. We'll be serving them soon."

"Oh, okay." Sha Zhu nodded quickly, then looked up and took a look, and started cursing.

"This damn Xu Damao has chosen a good position!"

At this time, Xu Damao looked like a spectator, eating melon seeds and chatting with the aunties beside him.

Just by looking at the way he shakes his head, you can tell how attractive the topic is.

Sha Zhu has to help here and he even wants to pull Xu Damao over to do the hard labor.

Soon, three servings of cold dishes were placed on plates, and with a wave of Chen Jun's hand, the aunties began to serve the dishes in an orderly manner.

"Let's have our meal."
